Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While most golf fans were still asleep back in the US, Phil Mickelson turned back the clock at Royal Portrush. During the first round of the Open Championship, Lefty carded a solid 1-under 70, marking it his best round at an Open in seven years. It included four birdies and a jaw-dropping bunker hole-out that had the crowd roaring. Phil Mickelson's 70 (-1) at Royal Portrush marks his best round at an Open since 2018. First sub-par major round since — Underdog Golf (@UnderdogGolf) July 17, 2025 "Yeah, that was a crazy one," Mickelson told reporters when asked about the "Phil magic" out there. "It was really one of maybe two poor shots I hit, I felt. "I was just trying to save bogey, and I got lucky and it went in. I really hit a lot of good shots today, and it wasn't too stressful." But while Mickelson's short-game magic was on full display, he wasn't as forthcoming when asked about Grant Horvat's PGA Tour snub. Phil Mickelson denies commenting on Grant Horvat's PGA Tour snub Horvat, the YouTube golf star and Mickelson's frequent collaborator, recently declined a sponsor's exemption to the Barracuda Championship after the PGA Tour refused to allow filming during tournament play.

(Photo byMore Getty Images When asked about the same on Thursday, Mickelson ignored the question. "I've really enjoyed playing my matches with Grant," replied, according to a transcript. He's the nicest guy, and he's been very helpful for me to kind of get into the YouTube space, a space that I don't really know a lot about." But when pressed further, "Do you think that's a missed opportunity?" Mickelson shut it down, stating, "I'm not going to go into the weeds on that. I just really like him." The LIV professional, known for his outspoken takes on the PGA Tour, chose not to weigh in, perhaps because Horvat is not just a friend but also his business partner. The incident first caught fire when Horvat, boasting 1.38 million YouTube subscribers, stated, "The only reason I was in the position to receive an invitation like this is because of YouTube and you all watching the videos, so if I'm going to play, we want film it." Since then, the debate over who is correct is on. What is your opinion? Let us know in the comment section below! More Golf: Former PGA Tour pro apologizes to crowd after wild shot at British Open

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Phil Mickelson has always been interested in YouTube golf. As a result, he has been spotted praising YouTube golfers like Bryson DeChambeau and Grant Horvat all the time. Take Horvat's 1M YouTube subscribers celebration, for instance, where Lefty joined hands by congratulating the Creator Classic winner in his iconic way—a tweet. Interestingly, when it comes to Phil Mickelson himself, he is no less. The LIV golfer jumped into the trend by releasing his first YouTube video on July 16th last year on his personal YouTube channel and never looked back. The video was done in collaboration with social media star Grant Horvat. His first video generated a total of 1.4 million views—the highest till now.

(Photo byMore Getty Images Currently, Lefty has 296K trusted subscribers through just 15 YouTube videos. Indeed, an impressive feat, which positioned Mickelson to make a large decision for his company, For Wellness. In a recent video with Grant Horvat, where he challenged Josh Allen & John Rahm to an 18-hole 2v2 match, Lefty approached the 25-year-old golf influencer. "You have been so kind in introducing me to YouTube space and all of your subscribers and teaching me kind of like what this is all about." "You have been so kind to everybody at For Wellness about using our product and promoting it and so forth. We have been great partners on the course, and I want to be partners off the course. And everybody at For Wellness agrees." "We are giving you equity in For Wellness to be a partner in the company as a thank you for what you have meant to us." Horvat could not control his smile, and his instant reply was, "Phil!" Grant paused and exhaled deeply, saying, "Thank you, oh my gosh." Next? Phil Mickelson just hugged his new partner and expressed, "You are a good, good man, and we really appreciate everything you have done, so thank you." The post was later shared by the Creator Classic Winner himself as he typed out the caption: "I'm speechless! Thank you @forwellness @philmickelson." YouTube Golf only continues to grow. LIV Golf has even begun dabbling in golf for social media consumers with the 'The Duels.' Held the week of LIV Golf Miami, the new event posted massive numbers of viewers across platforms.

Catholic Charities refugee resettlement program in mid-Missouri to close after 14 years
President Donald Trump addresses the 2025 Republican Issues Conference at the Trump National Doral Miami on Jan. 27 in Doral, Florida (). The Central and Northern Missouri chapter of Catholic Charities will end its refugee resettlement program March 31. In an email to supporters, Executive Director Litz Main said the nonprofit had to end the program due to the lack of federal funding. 'We deeply appreciate your partnership and shared commitment to serving those in need,' Main said in the email. 'As we navigate this transition, we welcome opportunities to collaborate in new ways to continue supporting refugee families in our region.' The cuts come from a federal level, after President Donald Trump suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and halted all funding for agencies that support refugees. Although the executive order was blocked by a federal judge in February, local resettlement programs still face a lack of federal funds. There is no indication when the program will resume, and the case is expected to face an appeal from the Trump administration. Catholic Charities has provided food assistance, disaster relief and family services for refugees for 14 years through the program. The program stopped accepting new refugees earlier this year because of uncertainty about the future, according to an emailed statement. The organization has worked with partner agencies to have those groups take over providing support to refugees. That transition will be complete by March 31, according to the statement. 'We are proud to have welcomed and walked alongside so many who now call Missouri home, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting these families through our partner agencies,' Main said in the statement Wednesday. She was not available for additional questions. Catholic Charities said in the statement it will continue to focus on its mission to support those in need in the Diocese of Jefferson City. City of Refuge, a refugee-focused nonprofit in Columbia, said in an email to its supporters Tuesday that one of the largest federal grants it receives will no longer be given to nonprofits. The funding will end Sept. 30. City of Refuge was not available for comment. This story originally appeared in the Columbia Missourian. It can be republished in print or online.

Florida has shaped President Trump's administration. Take a look at these milestones
South Florida Florida has shaped President Trump's administration. Take a look at these milestones Florida has positioned itself as a central force behind the Trump administration, with its politicians and donors reshaping federal policy and Republican politics on the national stage. Driven by Trump's own residency in the state, Florida has seen the elevation of key local figures to prominent roles, such as Marco Rubio's selection as secretary of state and Matt Gaetz's controversial tapping as attorney general, which ended in him pulling out of the appointment. The consolidation of conservative power in Florida reflects the state's transformation into a stronghold of Republican influence, with leaders like Ron DeSantis and a burgeoning Cuban-American political presence further cementing its role in shaping national and international policies. Meanwhile, Florida's impact on U.S.-Cuba relations and its heavy-handed push against progressive initiatives signal enduring shifts in the federal government's priorities under Trump's leadership.
